Freud

Genius or just sexually frustrated?

 

I'll go with both.

 

I've got a book on Freud that I'm trying to avoid, need to read it for my degree but it all looks like psychobabble to me.

 

ive been looking at freud for uni.............. *sigh* confusing at first but once you get the hang of it its not so bad.

 

A little from column A and a little from column B.

 

Sexually fustrated

And in love with his mother.

Probably had a small nob and was secretly gay.

(In my opinion anyway )

 

blatently! hum, i'm thinking both. he was a complete stoner though to be fair....no wonder he came up with some random stuff...he had some good ideas though...

 

He basically invented Psychoanalysis though afaik and that was revolutionary.

 

Yeah I think this is fair. Even though much of what he wrote is laughably inaccurate and basically just supposition and guesswork, he did invent a new way of thinking and talking about the mind. There is value sometimes in bad ideas.

 

Hmmm, I'm not too sure. He's always seemed like an interesting bloke to me. I particually like the things he has said about asceticism.
